The end state is great. It's people dying during the transition that worries me.

Why would anybody die during the transition? Especially if we do the transition as quickly as possible, we will be adding new resources to the grid while existing fossil fuel resources are still there.

In the US the grid problems are generally from having inadequate grid resources, and adding more will only help.

Have you not seen energy prices lately? I feel like when we discuss energy transition we get into a no-true Scotsman argument.
